Mermaid Tea

My lover was a coffee and a sugar cube And was lost forever solving what a man could feud Till I came upon a tea that was cold and wet and a mermaid saw me crying for a love that's debt And I said I'd never wonder what a women meant When I knew she never wondered what a man had lent And we said we'd live forever for a life we'd live separate from our souls together that a Father'd give So we never lived forever for a love that's free When we never understood what was each to be As all living came to end us for a love we'd see When we walked around our noses for what's virtually And we never came to gather for a holy man Till The Father kicked our asses in a horrible plan That we never got to listen to an evil clan When along the road forsaken was the whole of man! Back again I saw the coming of the lord I am When the window to the world was the host of l'mb And it's said I wondered waiting for just who I am When the traffic calling to me was the fate I damn And a woman telling to me that she's late I stand For a calling to my future in a Father's hand And a woman knows to nothing that a man can't stand What a love to last forever is a Holy Hand
